to know how such sale Of two medl-

on which the business is conducted, the

manufacture of the two RECIPES. with
which we were acquainted, are suffic~

tp erect large humber of cottages

ployes on monthly payments, at such
moderate prices as will enable them to
procure a home.
WHAT TRUE MERIT Whit DO.
The unprecedented sale of "Boshee's
German Syrup" within few years, has
astonlshed the world. It is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and etfectual
cure Of coughs; colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-:
scriptions given by the physicians; as
it does not dry up cough and leave the
disease still in the system, bit on the
contrary removes the "cause'' Of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in purely healthy condi-
tion. 4 bottle kept Id the house fol
use when the diseases make their ap.
pearance, will save doctors bills and a
long spell Of serious illness. A trial
will convince YOU Of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers Id the land. Price u
